Thank you fo that Cynthia. I didn't realize. I began a self portrait and became discouraged by all the paint needed for the wrinkles! It's not a pretty picture. : ) I shall apply and see what happens. I would so much rather paint from life, and I may have a volunteer 'victim' soon. I have learned not to take any further commission unless I can make a drawing first. I cannot take a good enough photo that cuts out distortion yet and I trust my eyes much better.
Thanks again,
